[Nuke-users] Default Pixel aspect ratio for Read Nodes

2011-06-23 Thread Donat Van Bellinghen
Hi, Is there a way to change the default pixel aspect ratio for read nodes. We use PAL Anamorphic footage a lot and when I drop some footage in Nuke the Read node is set to a standard PAL pixel aspect ratio. I hope there's a solution for this. Regards. Donat Van Bellinghen www.nozon.com

Hey Donat, Just edit the built-in PAL format to a different pixel aspect and Read nodes will match images that match the PAL resolution to that format. Edit Project Settings... Change PAL from 1.09 to whatever you want. -E On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 2:35 PM, Donat Van Bellinghen

As an alternative, edit formats.tcl. On windows machines, you will find this here: C:\Program Files\Nuke6.2v4\plugins\formats.tcl On Mac, here: /Applications/Nuke6.2v4/Nuke6.2v4.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/formats.tcl ( This is from memory, I don't have a Mac in front of me ) Inside this

Based on that formula, the reverse should be: x0.0106232?(log10((x + 0.00937677) / 0.18)*0.2471896) + 0.385537:(((x+ 0.00937677) / 0.18) + 0.04378604) * 0.9661776 Where 0.0106232 comes from solving the second part of the equation using the threshold value (0.1496582) (0.149658 / 0.9661776 -

Hey   Formats.tcl file has nothing to do with Reader's aspect ratio. This is only list of names of formats in Nuke, created for users convenience. Reader set up format based on info about resolution and aspect ratio of file. Then Nuke compares the format with the formats.tcl and if format has a

Formats.tcl file has nothing to do with Reader's aspect ratio. It does when there's more than one format defined with the same resolution, and the file does not contain metadata of its pixel aspect. In that case, Nuke will set the format of the Read to the first format in the list that
